Brief Title: Comparing PP and PVDF Meshes in Midline Laparotomy Closure for High-risk Colorectal Surgery. Impact on Incisional Hernia and Surgical Wound Infection.
Official Title: Comparison Between the Use of a Polypropylene (PP) Prophylactic Mesh and a Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Mesh in the Closure of Midline Laparotomy in Emergency Colorectal Surgery for High-risk Patients of Incisional Hernia. Impact on Surgical Wound Infection.
Study ID: NCT06220045
Brief Summary: In the latest guidelines for abdominal wall closure in emergency surgery published in the World Journal of Emergency Surgery (WJES) in 2023, no specific recommendations are made in this regard. Current literature does not provide any articles comparing these two types of mesh materials (PP vs PVDF) in emergency colorectal surgery. It is necessary to conduct a study comparing these two types of mesh materials, specifically in high-risk patients for incisional hernia and emergency colorectal surgery. This study aims to contribute to generating evidence regarding differences in wound infection incidence and potential subsequent complications, such as chronic pain. It is essential to conduct a study comparing different methods of laparotomy closure, specifically in emergency colorectal surgery, to contribute valuable evidence regarding the incidence of incisional hernia and potential subsequent complications.
